Looking for components for robotic joints, cobots or humanoid robots? Leadshine has developed a complete robotics portfolio featuring frameless motors, integrated actuators and dexterous hands. ATB Automation now makes these robot components available throughout the Benelux.
Several of these products will be on display for the first time at our booth during Precision Fair 2026 in ’s-Hertogenbosch.
The robotics industry is evolving rapidly. Applications are becoming smarter, more compact and increasingly dynamic. At the same time, developers face growing pressure to shorten development cycles and bring innovations to market faster.
To accelerate development, machine builders and robot manufacturers are increasingly choosing integrated components. Instead of integrating a motor, gearbox, encoder and controller separately, engineers can rely on pre-engineered solutions that significantly reduce design complexity and development time.

Leadshine offers a broad range of robotics components covering multiple disciplines within robot design. From frameless motors for custom developments to fully integrated actuators and plug-and-play robotic hands:
One of the main challenges in robotics development is integrating new solutions into existing automation environments. Support for industrial communication protocols such as EtherCAT is therefore essential and enables faster, smoother system integration.
Leadshine also benefits from decades of expertise in servo technology, stepper motors and motion control. This experience forms the foundation of its robotics product portfolio.

These robotics components will be officially introduced during Precision Fair 2026 in ’s-Hertogenbosch. Visitors can experience the technology firsthand and discover the possibilities that frameless motors, integrated actuators and dexterous hands offer for next-generation robotic solutions.

We supply slewing ring bearings, oscillating mountings, tensioner devices from stock and we also have spiral bevel gearboxes, servo gears and electromechanical actuators in our delivery program.
In addition we also select and offer the right components and systems for motion control solutions, such as servo gear motors, linear servo actuators and complete XYZ cartesian systems.
